Conor started this week too! 5th grade, new schoolTHE MIDDLE SCHOOL!!! he loves it so far!!! Phew.. I worry about him fitting in.....The bus has driven by our house 2 mornings in a row. First day, he kept on going. I made a phone call...Today, altho he passed, he stopped. It will be nice to have a week behind us! Finding our way thru this new routine is WORK! lolYour photo is adorable. And in your list of memories of school- many i'd love to forget! Ha!Love t you.... write when you can! Miss you!!!

the bus drove by... ugh.. how frustrating... colmans showed up early the second day ... but he made it .. at least on the second loop.. it passes his stop twice ..for all i know it scooped him up on the second ime around :)

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.

4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.

10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.
